BIOGRAPHY: In 1823, Samuel G. Arnold Sr. purchased a large house at 14 John Street in Providence. This house served many generations of the family over the next century. The following brief chronology of the earlier years is abstracted from Frances M.G. Wayland's "Account of 14 John St." in the collection.

BIOGRAPHY: 1823 House purchased by Samuel G. Arnold. Moves in with wife Frances Rogers Arnold and two children: Cornelia E. and Samuel G. Jr.

BIOGRAPHY: 1826 Samuel G. Sr. dies.

BIOGRAPHY: 1835 Cornelia marries Timothy R. Green and moves to New York.

BIOGRAPHY: Frances' mother, the widow Elizabeth Rodman Rogers, moves in along with Frances' bachelor brother Henry A. Rogers.

BIOGRAPHY: 1840 Timothy R. Green dies; the widowed Cornelia returns to the house with her son Arnold Green. Cornelia's daughter Frances Mary Green born soon after.

BIOGRAPHY: 1848 Samuel G. Arnold Jr. marries and moves out. Elizabeth Rodman Rogers dies.

BIOGRAPHY: 1865 Arnold Green marries Cornelia A. Burges; they settle at 14 John St. Frances Rogers Arnold dies. Samuel G. Arnold Jr. returns with his wife and 3 daughters.

BIOGRAPHY: This collection includes papers from many of the family members that lived at 14 John St., and also general accounts for household expenses including repairs and maintenance of the house. The bulk of the papers are under the name of Frances Rogers Arnold, but her daughter Cornelia E. Arnold Green is also featured prominently.

BIOGRAPHY: Boxes 4 and 5 contain the papers of attorney Henry A. Rogers pertaining to the estate of Samuel G. Arnold Sr. The papers are mainly accounts and legal documents that he oversaw for the estate's beneficiaries (primarily Frances R. Arnold and her children, Samuel G. Arnold Jr. and Cornelia E.A. Green). Henry A. Rogers was administering the estate on behalf of Frances Rogers Arnold, his sister.

BIOGRAPHY: While most of the 14 John St. bills in boxes 2 and 3 are for household expenses, the Samuel G. Arnold estate accounts are more often related to land and building ownership, either in the form of legal agreements and deeds or bills for work performed and materials purchased at various sites. Many of the accounts involve the Rutenberg Mill estate in North Providence and the Woonsocket Company in Cumberland. Providence real estate mentioned includes 14 John Street, a house on Dorrance St., 79 Congdon St., 133 S. Main St., property on S. Water St., and Fox Point and Tockwotten plats. Other properties mentioned include Paget Farm and land in Johnston.

BIOGRAPHY: Quite a few of the papers in these folders are receipts from Arnold family members to Henry A. Rogers confirming the receipt of various amounts of money from the estate. Other miscellaneous articles throughout the accounts include school tuition bills and federal and city tax bills.

BIOGRAPHY: The bulk of this collection was donated in 1981 by Mrs. Burgess Green, widow of a great-grandson of Cornelia E.A. Green. The Arnold Green diary was donated by her in 1983. The Edith Jackson Green diary was purchased from manuscript dealer Stephen Gross in 1999. A single paid bill from 1883 was donated by Rick Stattler in 2001 after purchasing it from Tiverton dealer Michael Danieli, who was offering many others for sale. The remainder of the collection was donated by Burgess Green's children Ms. Elliot Green Chesebrough and Theodore Francis Green II in 1996. All folders not marked otherwise can be assumed to be from the 1981 donation.
